Mexican catering across BR1
A build-your-own taco bar is one of the most sociable ways to feed a crowd. Guests fill their own tortillas from the fillings, salsas and toppings, so each plate is exactly how they like it. On the menu are burritos, tacos and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it suits leaving parties and weddings, day or evening.
When service finishes, we pack up and leave our area tidy. Set-up and pack-down times are agreed with you and the venue.
- First, send us a few details about your event.
- We suggest fillings and extras and send a quote.
- We agree access, the serving spot, power and water.
- We arrive, set up and serve from the hatch.
- We pack down after service and leave the area tidy.
What you’ll pay
The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Every guest catered for, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan included
- Food and drinks from one caterer, if you want both
- Set-up planned with you and your venue

Planning a food truck in BR1
Across BR1, we cater in 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Bromley, Chislehurst and Catford to a quiet hamlet: a level, firm spot, a way in and agreed timings.
Plaistow: If you are celebrating after a service at a church like St Mary’s Church, a truck or trailer parked at a hall or garden close by can serve the meal. A school such as Burnt Ash Primary School running a summer fair or fundraiser could book a taco truck. Winter evenings in Plaistow close in by about 3:55pm, so a well-lit spot for the queue makes a big difference. In late June, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:20pm.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:
- Add a dietary question to your RSVP
- Have a covered area ready in case of rain
- Ask the venue whether food trucks are allowed
- Guests with serious allergies should speak to us in advance
Food is served from the hatch, order by order, so it is hot when it reaches them.
Ask us about plates, cutlery and serving staff and we’ll confirm what’s possible with your quote.
DIY taco night versus a caterer
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How we price Mexican catering
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether you need disposables
- How long we’re needed on site
- Adding food to drinks, or drinks to food
- Travel, parking and access
Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the length of service, along with extras and where your event is. Every event gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Access for the truck or trailer, including gates and ground
- A photo of the space, if it’s a garden or field
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, food or drinks or both, and the access. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the serving area
Everything is served from our food truck or trailer, so where we park matters. These are the things we check:
- Room for a queue in front of the serving hatch
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A route in that’s wide and tall enough, with soft ground checked in advance
Is Mexican catering right for you?
A drop-off platter is easy, but nobody remembers it. Hot food served from a truck feels like part of the event.
Comparing caterers
- The deadline for final numbers
- How bad weather is handled
- Whether travel is included
- Staff numbers and hours

How big an event can you cater?
That depends on the menu and the service time, but our truck and trailer service generally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Tell us your numbers and we’ll advise.

Of course. We can keep dishes mild, and simple options such as quesadillas or nachos can be part of the menu. Tell us how many children are coming.
Can guests build their own tacos?
We can. A build-your-own taco bar can be served from the truck or a serving station, with fillings, salsas and toppings to choose from.
Do you need power and water?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Tell us what’s available at your venue.

The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but your guests will want somewhere covered, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
